Embodiment Construction

[0039]Referring now to the figures of the drawings in detail and first, particularly, to FIG. 1A thereof, there is seen a simplified, schematic representation of a two-way communication between a stationary consumption meter V and a mobile readout receiver E. The mobile readout receiver is located, for example, in a vehicle. The vehicle may, for example, be a waste collection vehicle or sanitation truck which reads out the consumption meters located on its route by using a drive-by reading. During the passing movement, the vehicle moves at a speed corresponding to the normal traffic flow. The relative speed between the consumption meter V and the readout receiver E is thus up to 70 kilometers per hour during the passing movement. The passing movement does not have to be interrupted and there is no need to stop to read out the consumption meter V. There is also no need to reduce the speed or relative speed during the readout.

[0040]The consumption meter V transmits status information ...

Abstract

A method operates a mobile readout system having at least one stationary consumption meter and a mobile readout receiver for reading out the consumption meter as the readout receiver moves past the consumption meter. A two-way communication takes place between the consumption meter and the readout receiver by using the consumption meter to transmit status information stored in the consumption meter, using the readout receiver to receive the status information, using the readout receiver to request additional information from the consumption meter by using a request command, and transmitting encrypted additional information from the consumption meter to the readout receiver. A readout receiver having a receiver for acquiring data from a plurality of spatially distributed consumption meters by using radio transmission according to the method is also provided.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority, under 35 U.S.C. § 119, of German Patent Application DE 10 2018 005 368.8, filed Jul. 5, 2018; the prior application is herewith incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a method for operating a mobile readout system including at least one stationary consumption meter and a mobile readout receiver for reading out the consumption meter as the readout receiver moves past the consumption meter. The present invention furthermore relates to a readout receiver having a receiver for acquiring data from a plurality of spatially distributed consumption meters.[0003]Data transmission from metering units, such as e.g. sensors, consumption meters or consumption data recording devices or components of smart home controllers, is becoming increasingly important in everyday use. One important field of application of metering units ...
